GRAPHITE SHAFT INVENTOR TO DEBUT CUTTING-EDGE PUTTER

Thomas, Frankly Golf Launch Equipment Line

Chester, N.J., Oct. 28, 2002…The inventor of the graphite shaft, Frank Thomas, who spent 26 years as technical director at the USGA, will introduce the advanced design Frankly Putter (F-16), available Oct. 29th from Frankly Golf (www.franklygolf.com).

Those who purchase the new putter, retailing for $245, also will receive an exclusive Putting Guide and E-Support, which Thomas says, "will give golfers playing with the Frankly Putter a psychological edge as a result of additional focus and confidence."

Golfers will benefit from the alignment guidance system built into the Frankly Putter, which will help them aim more effectively. The ‘On-Serttm’ technology provides a solid but soft feel and allows the internal tungsten stabilizers and MOI ports, which provide increased forgiveness, to be visible. The lie-right radius sole ensures that the putter sets up perfectly for each individual while the drag-resistant flange allows the putter to glide over the fringe of the green. Fittingly, each Frankly Putter is equipped with a graphite shaft that provides additional head feel.

The Frankly Putter is the first piece of equipment designed and introduced by Thomas since leaving the USGA and will be available for purchase directly from www.franklygolf.com or from select golf shops.

The key component, which allows golfers to realize their potential, is applying information provided in the Putting Guide and taking advantage of the password protected E-Support which provides practice drills, owner hints, and a putting help desk.

"Golfers require more than just a new piece of equipment to improve their game," Thomas said. "They also need assistance and support and that’s what we at Frankly Golf, with the guidance of some of the foremost researchers and teachers in the game, are providing with the Frankly Putter."

The quick-start Putting Guide, presented in nine easy-to-use steps, covers both the mechanics and mindset of putting.
